It really wasn’t about grammar, nor about picking on an individual, so much as a statement about people using a term 2 years after it was already lame.

But hey, it’s the internet and you’re free to use lame terminology, post cat pictures and rage faces, while making Chuck Norris jokes all day long. Because that REALLY makes you cool and unique and is not a waste of everyone’s time, including your own.

Any word on if Sprint is picking this up? If not, other carriers here we come!

Let’s hope it has all the specs the S3 was rumored to have.

The big deal is that it makes for a larger physical device when it’s already big enough with a 5.5 inch screen.

The point to on-screen buttons is flexibility in the screen as they rotate with your orientation holding the device, don’t see your hardware keys doing that. Secondly it gets them out of the boat of copying apple as there’s no button, and it plainly makes the device look sexier, believe me, I still get people asking about my gnexus, and finally the buttons have a future potential of having customizations to what is down there.. So why not? Why not make phones look and designed better? why not make the phones Google ICS+ compliant, why not take away from what apples image is of center button and go with something way more ahead of its time? Just food for thought, two there own really..

I too was disappointed that the s3 had physical home button and I was coming from the gnex but I have to say that it really dosnt bother me that it’s there. I did like the on screen keys but I would rather have my nav buttons on the bezel and have my full screen.

So why are we still stuck having buttons for, Christ sakes… Please build the phone to ICS specs, SOFT keys… Motorola finally learned.. I’ve also seen a few other manufacturer hinting towards it. Just plain stupid at this point considering how flexible the software keys can be and not to mention customization from a theme stand point.

Panasonic did that with the Eluga. It was the earpiece and speaker all in one.

I’m rooting for a front facing speaker instead of a home button. It would be nice to not have to cup the back of your phone with ur hand to bounce the sound TOWARDS your ears… we might be a few years away from that though… that’s a lofty request, I know…

Who’s to say if that button weren’t there that you wouldn’t have the same size screen???
